Ouch at only #16 for this, to think it seemed like a close race between her and Sam Smith for Sound of 2014 :o Sam has turned out to be the rightful winner of that by miles.

 

First time hearing this anyhow.

Oh well, top 20 is still a good result. Ella Eyre has a phenomenal voice. :wub:

Ella at 16 :o I really expected this a bit higher.

oh dear ella eyre has taken a hammering from streaming ~ still #16 is a solid start for if i go :)

I'd say top 20 is about right for this, nothing amazing.

Oh dear at Ella Eyre. I didn't expect it to be this low. :(

This should be top 10!!! :(

Genuinely upset about Ella being so low, what an incredible talent!

The Vamps continuing their trend of big second week falls.

Album Discussion Here

The Vamps! Only just got into their debut after not thinking too much of it when I first listened.

Pretty disappointing song from Ella. I kinda get the comparison to 'Love Me Again' but if anything it's just a very bland version of that :( (cue jokes about the original being bland).

 

Another massive drop from the top 5 for The Vamps. They and 5SOS are nicely filling in the 'new McFly' role, although with rather better longevity post the 2nd week drops.

I actually quite liked 'Somebody to You' but I'm finding it a bit annoying now. :(

Somebody To You :wub: I love it so much. Was hoping it would have a bit more stability than this :(.

glad the vamps have had a massive slump ~ dire track

'Somebody To You' is easily their best so far :wub:

Who is out of the top 40?

'I See Fire' missing the top 10 was unusual considering it's been big elsewhere in the world. But 'Don't' doesn't have an 'impact date' yet AFAIA and it isn't on the R1 playlist yet (though it is on Capital) so it's far too early to write it off as a top 10 miss, I'm sure it'll get there later on. 'Thinking Out Loud' should easily go top 10 if it's made a proper single as well.

 

(Strictly speaking 'I See Fire' isn't a single from the album, it's only included as a bonus track on the deluxe edition - it was released to promote the Hobbit film which may explain why it peaked lowly by his standards to some extent).

 

I have the feeling this will be a Beyonce sort of situation where two songs eat each other up a bit. We'll see.

 

I See Fire is his biggest hit here, Sing is fairly close though.

Oh dear, 'All of Me' is absolutely nauseating. Thank goodness for quite a few new entries next week!
